ABS Gomponents
System Description (cont'd)
Features
When the brake pedal is pressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop. In such an
event. the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is
reduced if the rear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ABS precisely controls the slip
rate of the wheels to ensure maximum grip force from the tires, thereby ensuring the maneuverability and stability of
the vehicle.
The ABS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the vehicle speed and the wheel speed, then it controls the
brake fluid pressure to reach the target slip rate.

System Description (cont'd)
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valves, outlet solenoid valves, reservoir, pump, pump motor, and the
damping chamber. The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly. lt is a circulating-type modulator
becausethe brakefluidcirculatesthroughthecaliper,reservoir,andthemastercylinder.Thehydrauliccontrol has
three modes: pressure intensifying, pressure retaining, and pressure reducing. The hydraulic circuit is an independent
four-channeltype, one channel for each wheel.
Pressure intensifying mode: Inletvalve open, outlel valve closed
Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to the caliper.
Pressure retaining mode: lnlet valve closed, outlet valve closed
Caliper fluid is retained by the inlet valve and outlet valve.
Pressure reducing mode: Inlet valve closed, outlet valve open
Caliper fluid flows through the outlet valve to the reservoir.
lvlotor operation mode: When starting the pressure reducing mode, the pump motor is ON.
When stopping ABS operation, the pump motor is OFF.
The caliper fluid is pumped out by the pump, through the damping chamber, to the
master cvlinder.

Daytime Running Lights Control Unit Input Test - Canada
The DRL indicator light in the gauge assembly will come on when you turn the ignition switch to ON (ll) with the
headlight switch off and the parking brake se1. lt should go off when you turn on the headlight switch and release the
parking brake. lf it comes on at any other time, do the control unit input test.
NOTE: When the daytime running lights are on, the high beam indicator will glow at half its normal intensity.
1. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover (see page 20-60).
2, Disconnectthe l4Pconnector(A) from thedaytime running lightscontrol unit(B).
